Flat share bills dilemma?

Sisonpyh asked:
3 of us share a flat. We have a cleaner that comes once a week. I forgot to unlock the door for her in the morning so she couldn’t get in. Consequently the flat wasn’t cleaned, but she took her money as normal out of the flat kitty. My flatmate says I should have to pay for all of it because I forgot about the door. There is no extra cost to us, just that the flat didn’t get cleaned. I have made numourous sacrifices for the sake of flatshare cohesion, such as paying two month’s deposit that my flatmate wanted (it’s only one month in the tenancy agreement) and I pay for broadband every month that I’ve never used. And I haven’t complained about one announcing he’s moving his girlfriend in without asking or paying any extra rent. Should they let this go, or should I have to reimburse them this week’s money?
